Shock treatment, for eradication of any insect infestations, requires the lowering of the temperature to 18-20 F for 3 to 4 days, then raising it to 60-70 F for 2 days, then lowering it once again to 18-20 F for 2 days and raising it to the storage tem
perature.
Furs remain pliable, oxidation is reduced, and color and luster are preserved when stored at 40 to 50 F.
Mold growth is prevalent with humidities above 80 percent, while hair splitting is common where humidity is lower than
55 percent.

After leather is moistened in preparation for rolling and stretching, it is placed in an atmosphere held at room tempera ture with a relative humidity of 05 percent.
Leather is usually stored in warehouses without tempera ture and humidity control. However; it is necessary to seep humidity below 85 percent to avoid mildew.
Air filtration is recommended for toggle machines.

To acquire desired cleanliness of air a combination of im pingement and electrostatic filters are used. Dust collectors are required for grinding operations.

As spawn starts to grow, it is necessary to abruptly cool the mushroom house by 15 deg in a 12 hr period (approx.). Usually, thin is the controlling factor io selection of refrigeration equip ment, unless there is portable equipment available for such a
purpose. Ductwork is usually of wood, due to the deterioration of
ferrous metals during sweating-out period.
Air filtration is essential in spawn rooms. Viscous filters are preferred, as mold spores are trapped in the viscous film. Odorless oil should be used.
Heat of emission is 4.Btu per (hr) (sq ft of growing surface).

Spray type dehumidifiers used to eliminate SOt Water treatment is essential to. maintain between 8.5 and 0.0 pH.
Reheat is usually needed for refrigeration cycle due to the low sensible heat load.
In extremely cold weather a lower relative humidity is re quired to prevent condensation on walls.
Positive high and low limit relative humidity controls are I used. Do notloeate water or steam piping where leakage can I cause damage._______________________________________ ;____________ |

Gelatin capsules require varying relative humidities, de pending upon size of capsule. Moisture content should not exceed 0.25 g per cu ft. Various kinds of gelatin require different temperatures.
Penicillin incubation process requires holding temperature within M <feg F, with temperatures and humidity rigidly con trolled during all manufacturing phases.
Ampule filling requires a 20 percent relative humidity when especially fine powders are used.
Uncoated tablet manufacturing requires accurate control of temperature and relative humidity, since low relative humidity causes formation of a hard outer layer, and bigh'relative hu midity retards drying at the proper rate.
liver extracts require a low relative humidity after they are dried. Temperatures higher than 80 F will cause the extracts to deteriorate.
Tablet coating requires the control of the temperatures-of all ingredients and the temperature of air introduced to coat ing pans.
Sterile conditions are essential in many pharmaceutical processes. Provide suitable air exhaust to remove surplus ma terial from tablet compressing machine.
Air filtration is generally required, with positive air Ultration in some areas._______ _

Spray water must have algae inhibitor. Positive dust control must be maintained and absolute filtration is essential.
In nitrate film area take proper precautions against fires.
Recirculated air used for film drying is passed through acti vated carbon filters.
Relative humidity for film storage should never exceed 60 percent with.a minimum of 25 percent.

Dogs are generally the worst offenders as far as odor genera tion is concerned.
Decontamination of exhaust air is recommended in popu lated areas.

Maximum ventilation is required for laying quarters during the summer months, while an attempt is made to maintain a temperature 10 deg above or below outdoor temperature during the winter, to minimize condensation on the exterior , walls. This applies to houses not having forced ventilation systems.
